Now that is creative: Brazilian bank Bradesco has launched a floating branch. To provide services to the population that lives along the rivers in the Amazon region, the bank has crew and equipment sailing along the rivers. Check the Wall Street Journal article:

I think that is the coolest idea!
It is such conscientious move toward preserving the environment! Think about it... no land clearing, no infrastucture like plumbing, electrcity or social services. The only negative point is burning diesel.. but hey look at Detroit or Chicago on a bad day.....
